The three major indexes in the US stock markets suffered a collective setback over the past two days. Among them, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,500 points, erasing all the gains since the beginning of the year.

The US stock market trend is not likely to affect A shares directly, commented Wei Wei, an analyst at Ping An Securities. China's riskless interest rate is significantly higher compared to that of the US, he said, adding the accelerated market opening process and the strong yuan exchange rate may hedge the impact from falling US stocks to a certain extent.
